I haven't really pulled in a long time. I didn't even do the 1/2 dailies. Also, every few days they give us like 400-500 lapis and it adds up pretty fast if you don't use any. Since they do so many Step Up campaigns, I've kinda learned to not waste lapis on things because Step Ups can really allow me to get the units I want on the banner. On top of that, they've been having a free pull everyday for a while now. It helps scratch that "I need to pull" itch that comes around every now and again. What's funny is not pulling for so long and when I do pull, I end up with units I didn't even know who they were because I skipped their banner completely. They also gave us a bunch of Select Tickets (and we get two per Mog King) which adds up. I don't use that unless I REALLY have to.
I hope the next few banners are ass, so I can go back to saving. The Xenogears banner really drained me. But this current event is a Mog King, so I can get some tickets there to help build back up. I wouldn't have pulled on this banner, but dammit, they added Jecht and Auron...two of my favorite characters in FFX. And hearing that they're good units just makes it harder to resist pulling. PLEASE NEXT BANNER BE TERRIBLE!!!!
One more thing, looks like they're gonna give us a free 5* pull if we do these special missions. They've been sooooo easy, it's just a no brainer to do them.
What's cool is that the last event was a raid and I ended up with a TON of cactuar and turtles so I can FINALLY afford to get some characters to 7*. 3 million gil drains the wallet fast, but with 400k raid coins...yep...cash. I was sitting on a bunch of Sephiroth units so I was able to finally get his STMR. Woot!
